In Pat v. Ethan, we have the weaker of the first round matchups for the playoffs. While both have good teams, both teams are incredibly hurt and received terrible news within the past couple of weeks of players refusing to participate in the playoffs. Pat already had Beal and Butler out for the year, but now you can add Sabonis and Steven Adams to the mix. On top of that, Dillon Brooks (averaging 21 PPG somehow) broke his hand and may not be able to come back in time, Gobert is ass and got suspended for flagrants, and Embiid is nowhere to be found. For Ethan, Zach LaVine and De'Andre Hunter (Kings are tanking) were ruled out for the year, DBook is hurt again, Giannis is still ailing, and his depth is sitting games. This matchup looks like a battle of who wants to get blown out in the Semis by Stevie, although you never know what can happen. Pat can only ask for luck and Zach's fertility. Pat and Ethan last met in the playoffs during the 2024-2024 season Finals, where Pat took the crown.

| 6 . Bumpskiii ( 9 - 8 - 0 ) | v. | 3 . Zhang ( 13 - 4 - 0 ) [ -1.5 ] |
Now this is a great first round matchup. Bumpskiii went into buy mode this season, trading away key picks to sneak into the playoffs for the first time in franchise history as the 6 seed. He's coming off the last week of the regular season where he put up the best all-around performance in the league. He's still a learning GM, and did not think about tanking teams as he sent a haul for Jaren Jackson, who now has been ruled out the remainder of the year for the Jazz. He's also missing JDub and Walker Kessler, but a big heavy lineup led by Wemby, Duren, and Kelel Ware provide a potential matchup nightmare. He's on the rise, and while we still have to see if this is his year, he's shaping up to be a competetive force year in and year out. For Zhang, the playoffs are a familiar result for him, and a solid season led him to the 3 seed. He features a guard heavy lineup, but has been missing Kyrie and FVV the whole year. Ja Morant and Steph don't seem to be healthy for this matchup either, which poses a potential problem trying to solidy guard categories against Bumpskiii. Dirty Zio Deni Avdija is having a career year, and hopes to lead this team to victory. Zhang is 7-1 all-time against Bumpskiii, so he's not scared.
